    DEVELOPMENT DIGEST
    A state of the art series of carefully selected articles on issues of development, social justice and structural transformation, compiled from newspapers, journals, reports, newsletters, books, magazines and the Internet, put together because of their relevance and public importance.

    BUILD A DOCUMENTATION CENTRE OF YOUR OWN!
    In the development digest, each article is independent and they are separately folded.   The independent articles in one issue are loosely bound so that you can carry each article around... read it when convenient.

    The articles also come pre-punched, with distinct subject classifications, so you can file articles from one subject together over a period of time. Voila! You have your own documentation centre !

    OTHER CED DOCUMENTATION like DOCPRINTS & MIRROR ON COMMUNALISM are being brought out in this same form. i.e., book size, article oriented, pre-punched.   This will also add to your documentation effort.

    Below are contents of each issue of DD!
